International Project Week - E-Commerce: Standards Catalogs, Transactions, Classification of Commodities

Course coordinators: Peter Reusch, Heinz-Michael Winkels, Xiaoquan Zhang, Laura Esmeralda Garcia Moreno, Karakus Senay (Dortmund)

We offer one week of studies focused on standards in e-commerce.

Standardized concepts for catalogs, for transactions and for the classification of commodities are the backbone of e-commerce.

We will study existing concepts like BMEcat for catalogs, OPENtrans for transactions and eCl@ss and UNSPSC for the classification of commodities.

We will also work on future concepts. The faculty is involved in the harmonization of classes and properties in eCl@ss to prepare future levels of the classifications system.

An excursion to sites dealing with future stores and future supply chain management will be included in this seminar.
